Tips for best results

• Start small — Test with maxReviews: 10 first to verify the URL works and the output meets your needs
• Use date filters — For ongoing monitoring, use recentDays (e.g., 30) to only scrape new reviews since your last run
• Combine filters wisely — You can combine rating, traveler type, and language filters to extract exactly the reviews you need
• Auto-translate limitation — When reviewLanguages is set to a specific non-English language, the auto-translate feature may not work as expected. For translated reviews, leave reviewLanguages empty and enable autoTranslate
• Schedule regular runs — Use Apify's built-in scheduling to automatically collect new reviews on a daily or weekly basis
• Integrate with your tools — Connect the output to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, or your own API via Apify integrations

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape TripAdvisor?

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

How many reviews can I scrape?

There is no hard limit from the Actor side. You can scrape all available reviews for a listing by setting maxReviews to 0. For listings with thousands of reviews, the Actor will paginate through all pages automatically.

Can I scrape reviews in languages other than English?

Yes. Use the reviewLanguages filter to select from 17 supported languages including English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and more.

What if a URL is not supported?

The Actor supports 5 URL types: Hotel_Review, Restaurant_Review, Attraction_Review, AttractionProductReview, and Cruise_Review. If you provide an unsupported URL format, the Actor will log a warning and skip it.

Where can I get help?

If you encounter any issues, please open an issue on the Issues tab of this Actor's page. You can also reach out via the Apify community on Discord.
